Key Takeaways for Buyers and Sellers

  • Homes Are Taking Longer to Sell: With an average of 34 days on the market, properties are staying listed longer compared to 2023 and 2024.

What This Means for You

  • For Buyers: If you’re looking to purchase a home in HRM, expect higher prices and more competition. Working with an experienced real estate professional will be crucial to securing the right property at the best price.

  • For Sellers: Rising home values and limited inventory put sellers in a strong position, but pricing and marketing your home correctly will still be key to attracting buyers in a market where homes are taking longer to sell.
